France calls U.S. Greenland threats “nonsense”
French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said the notion of one NATO member using force against another is unthinkable and directly contradicts the alliance’s shared interests.
“As for a possible intervention by force, even if I do not engage in political or diplomatic fiction, this is not political fiction; it is nonsense from the White House,” Barrot said.
"It makes absolutely no sense for a NATO country to attack another NATO country. It would make no sense at all and, above all, it would be absolutely contrary to interests."
His comments followed repeated remarks from U.S. President Donald Trump and senior officials suggesting Washington was weighing “all options” concerning Greenland, including military action—statements that have sparked concern across Europe.
Barrot reaffirmed France’s stance that Greenland’s status is not subject to negotiation, emphasizing that the Arctic territory belongs to its population and that any decisions about its future lie exclusively with Greenland and Denmark.
